BASE BALL.

A thrillinely interesting game of base
ball was played by the members of the
hook and ladder and hose companies on
Thursday evening last. Notwithstand-
ing the disagreeable wind. which was
blowing gale. quite number of people
took possession Of the improvised seats
provided. Darkness came OH at the end
of the flth inning, and Umpire Parks
announced that the game would be con-
clutled next week. The hose company
are so far victorious, having retired with
score of twenty-seycn, while the ii. 4
L. boys, who were at one period of the
game nine runs ahead, left the field with
twcnty-four runs. Dawes, the pitcher
of the II. & L., introduced some fancy
pitching that was exceedingly harl to
bat. Ed Fridley, right-iieldcr, has n
sort of a jack-abbit movement, when
in full chase after the ball, but he got
there just the same. Spicth x kruG
kindly and humanely furnished the
boys with a keg OF beer, or it is doubtful
whether they could have stood the
ordeal.

cence.

spider" by his actions behind the bat
a cowboy on horseback was engaged to
bring the ball to him.

Straight lefi-handed hit, aimed directly
at Story's jack, furnishing music for the

mile away.

ment, and the way he lit out for first
base would make locomotive tired.
Umpire Parks says that $500 would
not be the slightest inducement for him
to umpire again. He proposes to recon-
mend his worst enemy to fill the place

"In consequence of the early work

Before the time Of steamboats, and rail
roads, and even up to the time when Mer-
curry threw aside his trumpet and took in
stead telegrapher's key, there was de-
mand for letters on travel, but to-day
there is no more unstable sort of written
matter. Still people persist in bothering
editors with articles Of this kind, and l
suppose one-quarter Of the floating manu-
script in America is written by this de-
luded class. After the 'pay dirt" in n
mine is exhausted don't try to work it.
London, Paris, Berlin, Rome and, in fact,
every part of Europe have been written
about until there is absolutely nothing
new to say, and the same holds good in
relation to America. Unless you have an
observation and power to express it equal
to Dickens, don't try to write letters for
publication descriptive Of places and
things that hav, previously been visited
and seen by Kan who knew how to use
pen and paper.-C. NJ. Hammond in The

From statistics collected in parts of tho
German empire, G. Hellman finds that the
danger from lightning, though generally
increasing, is diminishing in certain dis
tricts, the risks becoming less the more
closely houses are clustered. The char
acter of the soil has great influence. Let
ting one represent the danger from light
ming on calcareous ground, two will give
1t upon mari, nine upon sandy, and twenty
two upon clayey soil. 1t is o curious fact,
not yet explained, that oaks are struck
much more frequently than other trees;
so that if the danger for beeches be one,
that for pipes is fifteen, and for oaks,
fifty y-four.-Arkansaw Traveller.

The education of the elephant would be
very easy but for his cumbersome weight,
which forces the trainer to have recourse
to cruel means. For instance, to make
him raise and hold out his foot, an iron
ring with sharp points is placed on it, and
being drawn by a rope, the points enter
the flesh. The elephant, feeling the pain,
the pain ceases. After a few repetitions
he remembers the pain, and at the sight
of the iron raises his foot. His instruc-
tion, thanks to his intelligence, is soon
completed. Some elephants, in less than
fortnight, are taught to play on drum,
work n tricycle. and beg on their hind
legs.-Boston Herald.
